Fun fact: Roscoe Lee Browne played the Kingpin in the Spider-man cartoons from the 90s. And in the Daredevil movie? Michael Clarke Duncan. The lesson? You need to be a black man with three names to play Wilson Fisk, son.

Logan's Run faaascinated me when I was a kid -- seemed like it was on tv about every other month, along with The Andromeda Strain and Soylent Green. The book wasn't bad either.

Logan's run seems like it was the last gasp of the "The future is all shiny and looks like a shopping mall" school of science fiction movies. Star Wars came out the next year and ever since then the future has been grungy and beat-up.

I'll have the fish, hold the plankton, with a side of sea greens and just a little protein from the sea, please. And pie for dessert.

The Box, with words, and with different instrumentation (I'm on a Box kick right now, thanks for the nudge!)

I can;t watch Logan's Run without thinking of it's B-movie shadow

PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR

which got totally re-made as a big budget movie, "The Island", but you know, without paying or telling the original creators in any way.

Logan's Run fascinated me when I was in my early teens. I think it was mostly Jenny Agutter's nude scene though.

Hey, you know someone had to say it.
